The NP also checked with cardiologist and he said he can do other measurements. He also has bicuspid aortic valve. She mentioned sometimes there is a hole that some are born with. I guess that is why they are scheduling an echo-tavr. I don't know what that is and why. My husband has no concerns . He doesn't seem to recall things that are discussed. I am just going with info we are given and trying to understand it.

Tavr is a less evasive procedure , repairing the valve by going through the groin. I did not qualify for that procedure and had open heat surgery and had the valve replaced with the cow part. The Tavr will provide for a speedier recovery. Hoping the best for your Hubby.
